The town will be closing down the Route 138 sports complex next to the police station on Monday.

Parks & Recreation Commissioner Heidi Swist said she anticipates that the area will be closed for two months as it undergoes $79,000 in upgrades. The work will include revitalizing and resurfacing the tennis and basketball courts, as well as upgrading the electrical system and installing new fences.

The money was approved at the annual Town Meeting last June and comes from two sources: The Community Preservation Act open space account and the community preservation fiscal 2015 budget reserve account. Approximately $24,000 will come from the CPA account and $55,000 from the reserve account.

The CPC approved the project last December before it appeared before Town Meeting voters.

The sports complex is in such bad shape that the Parks & Recreation Commission had to shut it down for a short stint last year.

“It was a safety hazard for a number of years,” Rhines said, adding that there were sinkholes and cracks in basketball and tennis courts. Rhines also said there were exposed conduit wires, which is why it was shut down last summer.

Rhines described the work that will begin this week as a complete replacement.

Rhines said that it will soon be a 21st-century complex where people can play basketball, tennis and floor hockey.
